***************************************************** SPOILER WARNING -- Please don't read if you wish to watch the GSL in the future or don't know the results of the round of the 32 ******************************************************
Seriously as soon as all the non-koreans were eliminated I lost all interest in the GSL. I hope there are more non-koreans in the next GSL. It's not like I don't like Korean players or anything, but in a typical American fashion I only care about the sport till everyone from America is eliminated (oh and TLO I was really hoping he would win).

Hell no, why would I stop at ro16? only quality players left.

It's obviously not worth watching anymore!!

Not saying its not worth watching. Just saying that I'm kinda bored of it. Who do i cheer for?
|
As long as you didn't pay for GSL. I personally care for top tier level play be it american or not.
|
competition tends to get more fierce/competitive once more players are eliminated not enough? but gsl hasn't been worth it for me to wake up unlike BW
|
Eh, I'm still watching, even without foreigners in it... I'm really looking forward to some top level zerg play after all the comments that they're underpowered
|
i'm indeed sad that idra and TLO are out. But i am more sad that its mostly tvt with a few pvt's. I'll probably still watch the rest though.

If my team gets knocked out before the playoffs/finals or whatever i'm probably still going to watch the finals just for entertainment purposes even if I don't really have a team/person to cheer for but if you feel differently then fair enough.

So Koreans are raping everyone at this game, too? I haven't watched anything of the GSL so I don't know much, but how many foreigners are left exactly?

I agree you on this, but there is no way i wouldn't watch RO16 to the end. Myself, i rather watch Koreans play than most of all Europeans/American players except some.
I dunno, some how its not that interesting to watch them play.

Tlo was the last one. So none.

Tester is still in so I have someone to root for. But even if he wasn't I'll still watch just for the high level of play. Really, watching high level Starcraft is just amazingly fun even if you don't know who the players are.
|
Are you kidding? watch ANY prime player left in this tourny, and he will give a show far better than TLO could hope for.
Ya TLO has some really nifty tricks up his sleeve, but in terms of pure mechanics he's still just a foreigner to true starcraft players in Korea.
I have high hopes for him though, he does show that he is remarkable at thinking on his feet mid game, something that some macrobots are not quite as proficient.
But seriously, I cannnnoooot wait for the round of 16, hongunprime is sick sick good, as well as check tester intotherainbow...fuck it EVERYBODY in the RO16 is a monster, and it will be intense seeing them battle it out.
Inca vs tester would be the most insane PvP in history.

I watch but I don't really care anymore.

So far when good players have gone against each other this tournament the games have been amazing. The lackluster games were mostly due to poor play by the eliminated people. Now basically only really good players are left.
This is normally when I'd START watching a tournament, not stop watching it!
|
Already stopped watching it as well. Level of play in a lot of games in previous rounds was far below even mid-diamond kids on US server. And all the foreigners are out...soo...dunno. I might still watch some games, but most were boring imo compared to brood war games.
|
It was sort of impossible for me to watch in the first place. 4-8AM EST on a school day? I'd try to wake up early and catch TLO or Idra from time to time but it's just not possible to keep up with it.
|
So all these hopes for equality among foreigners and Koreans with a new game, and this is what happens. ONLY Koreans in a RO16. I don't know whether to laugh or not.
